Ono hos q most excellent opportunity TO
study man" rs represented by tho average
New Workers. Among the wealthy classes, very
many OF them have the waxy skin, dropsicnl
flesh, and ''puffed eyes" that are indicative of
serious kidney affection. "Bright's disease" is
togan's death the subject OF rheumatism is
being discussed by the medical profession.
Every intelligent person, with any knowledge
OF the human system, is well aware that IL the
kidneys arc in good condition all unnecessary
material is regularly carried OF by them. II not,
various acids such as uric acid, one of the chief
causes OF rheumatism, are left in excess Great
ing deposits that cause oil sorts Of chronic or
ganic diseases. 1t would seem, therefore, that
rheumatism, h like dropsy, Is , not W disease but
II the stomach and kidneys are kept in health
ful condition, there will be NO deaths from
General Logan was well aware that his dis
ease was of the kidneyc, and once expressed
himself In indignant terms nt the folly Of
was the kidneys that caused his attacks.
Tho high living and the cxcesses in all things,
prevalent among wealthy men in large cities,
Brights disease, and the aristocratic trouble
known as rheumatism, even as insufficient and
improper food bring about the same results
among the very poor. -.
The above article, which we reproduce
because OF it's general interest, is very sig
nificant. The public believes that rheuma-
tism is an effect of diseased blood, this dis
case being caused by uric acid or kidney
poison. Enough of this is developed daily
TO kill several men, and ifit is not removed
by the Kidneys as fast as formed, it grad.
ually ruins the health.
This fact Is q scientific demonstration.
II doctors do not admit 1t, it ia probably
because they do not wish to attract atten-
tion to the menace deranged kidneys offers
to the general health, since they have no
authorized specific for these organs.
General Logan knew what his real trouble
was, and he recognized the nonsense Of
treating the effects-the real seat of the
disease was the kidneys. Senator Sittig,
OF Illinois, whose vote elected Logan Sen
ntor after four months of balloting, tells
us that Logan often complained to him of
great distress in his kidneys. Disease OF
the kidneys always produces rheumatism,
and besides that, it causes paralysis, apo
plexy, impotency, stomach and blood dis
orders, brain troubles, female complaints
and countless other diseases which would
almostnever develop il the blood was kept
free of uric acid or kidney poison.
though medical gentlemen, for very. evil
dentreasons, wil1not publicly acknowledge
them lest perchance, some proprietary
medicine, like Warmers safe cure, now ad-
mitted to be the only scientific specific, will
get the benefit.
Fie on such bigotryl 1t has been author
itatively stated time and again that there
can be no real sound health il there is any
false action of tho kidneys. Insurance
companies refuse millions OF risks on this
ground alone, hence 1t is that there Is such
universal popularity given to tho great
preparation named-a popularity that is
based upon intrinsic merit.
Too much dependence upon professional
advice, especially in matters over which
medical men admit they have no power,
too often results very disastrously, but OF
what use TO the victim Is experience gained
by fatal disastcrf
How much better 1t is to be guided by an
unprejudiced public opinion In slch mat
ters.
Had Logan been 80 guided, he might
havo been spared many years.
